On the front lines, we don’t do this work alone. On scenes, we have each other’s backs. We support as they fight for better working conditions, increased recruitment and retention, and fair labor practices. We stand in solidarity with our paramedics.

Behind every emergency response is careful preparation 🚒🧑‍🚒 Inspecting the fire trucks is important, firefighters rely on them and their equipment to work properly in emergencies. Regular inspections ensure life-saving tools are ready to use, and allow crews to respond quickly and safely when every second matters.

We are heartbroken by the tragic events at the school in Tumbler Ridge, BC.

As members of the public safety community, we extend our deepest condolences to the families of the lives lost and to all those injured and affected. Our thoughts are with the students, staff, families, and the entire Tumbler Ridge community during this incredibly difficult time. We also stand with the first responders who faced an unthinkable situation with professionalism and courage.

We stand in solidarity, in grief, in support, and in hope.

This weekend, members of IAFF Local 80 were proud to attend the Labour Community Service Award Dinner hosted by the Saskatoon & District Labour Council alongside United Way Saskatoon & Area.

We’re honoured to congratulate our brother, Justin Smart, on being named this year’s Labour Community Service Award recipient. Justin’s commitment to giving back runs deep. From building and maintaining his neighbourhood’s outdoor rink, to volunteering in multiple roles at Queen Elizabeth School, to coaching his daughter’s baseball team, he consistently shows up for his community. On top of that, Justin is an active and engaged member of Local 80, regularly attending meetings and volunteering his time at union events and fundraisers that support our charitable and community efforts.

Thanks, Justin, for representing IAFF Local 80 so well and for everything you do to make Saskatoon stronger.

The pump panel is the command centre of a fire truck, where Saskatoon’s firefighters control water flow, pressure, and foam to attack fires safely and effectively 🚒

Operating this equipment isn’t just turning valves, it takes years of training, precision, and calm under pressure. Our Engineers and Emergency Vehicle Operators are responsible for getting crews to the scene safely, positioning the apparatus correctly, and supplying water with accuracy.

From complex hydraulic calculations to reading a constantly evolving fireground, the members of IAFF Local 80 take immense pride in mastering their rigs. They are the steady force behind every successful fire attack, ensuring the team has what they need, when they need it, without fail 👩‍🚒

A safer firefighter means a safer community. When Saskatoon’s firefighters have the proper training, equipment, and support, they can respond effectively and make it home safely. IAFF Local 80 remains committed to advocating for the safety measures our members, and our city, rely on.
